Privacy Policy and Communications

We take the privacy of student's records and information very seriously. As such,
Binghamton University follows federal laws in regards to the release of student information.
Under the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), students
may authorize the release of their student record information to parents, guardians,
or others whom they designate. Using the Release of Student Information Form, students must identify what information may be released, the person, department
or office that is authorized to provide the information, the party to which the information
may be released and the purpose for releasing the information. Students should list
all parties authorized to release and or receive information. Once completed, the
form should be sent or taken to the designated person or office. A faxed release
form is acceptable, but the original signed form should be mailed or delivered to
the appropriate office. Office and department addresses, telephone and fax numbers
are located in the department web site.

Students may revoke their permission to release records by giving written notification
to the person, department or office that they previously authorized.

Communications Information:

Your student's @binghamton.edu email address is now the primary and official form
of communication from Residential Life. We will continue to post general dates and
announcements to our website, but specific announcements and housing information will
be sent directly to their email address.
